Maxim Integrated Products Achieves ISO/TS 16949:2002 Certification—Ensures Continued Excellence in Automotive Market
SUNNYVALE, CA—June 21, 2006—Maxim Integrated Products (NASDAQ: MXIM) one of the industry's leading mixed-signal and analog semiconductor companies, announces ISO/TS 16949:2002 certification at its California, USA, headquarters, design, manufacturing, test, and shipping locations. Achieving TS 16949 certification is another step that affirms the Company's ongoing commitment to the automotive market.
The Automotive environment is extremely harsh for semiconductor
devices because of electrical noise and operating temperatures. Because the consequences of IC failure can be severe, the TS16949's quality standards were developed to ensure that suppliers anticipate and meet these requirements, from product design to product development, manufacturing, and delivery.
ISO/TS 16949 is a common global registration system recognized by all participating organizations of the International Automotive Task Force (IATF), which includes BMW®, DaimlerChrysler AG®, Ford Motor Company®, General Motors Corporation®, Volkswagen®. ISO/TS 16949 also comprises common, international automotive quality-system requirements based on ISO 9001:2000, AVSQ (Italy), EAQF (France), QS-9000 (U.S.), and VDA 6.1 (Germany) requirements.

Maxim's compliance with TS 16949 demonstrates that our design and manufacturing processes meet the most rigorous quality standard possible," said Tom Tobin, Executive Director, Quality, Automotive Business Unit.
